Trinity Worship and Sunday School for November 28, 2021 - The First Sunday of Advent

TAP HERE TO PARTICIPATE IN OUR WORSHIP LIVESTREAM

Happy New (Church) Year!  Today marks the beginning of Advent, the opening of the Christian year, as we prepare ourselves for the coming of Christ at Christmas.  We watch, wait, and hope together in this important season of our life together.  I hope you will take time to join us for worship today as we light the first candle, sing songs of expectation, and hear again the promise that Christ is with us.  Whether you join us in-person or via livestream broadcast, I am delighted you are part of the Trinity family!

Advent Devotionals Are Here!  Tap here to download our daily Advent Devotionals.  This is a great way to participate in this holy season, no matter where you are.  Download the file and open it on most any device to read the daily reflections.  The file contains all four weeks of devotions, so you only need to download it once.  We will also be including each week's devotions in print form at our in-person services.

Finally, a quick note about our livestream broadcast.  Over the past month we have had a few technical issues with audio.  While we think these are fixed, I want to let you know we are bringing in an AV professional to review our setup and make sure we are providing the best experience for all our worshiping family that we are able.  Thank you for your patience as we continue to refine our process!

• If you are participating in worship by joining us in-person at Trinity:please note the following procedures and adjustments to help make worship a safer environment for everyone:

  • Please do not arrive at Trinity before 11:15am; this will allow time for Brentwood members to exit the building.

  • Please use the West / Trinity doors if possible; this will minimize congestion near the Sanctuary. If you need to use the East / Sanctuary doors due to mobility issues please feel free to do so.

  • Please wear a mask while in the building and be mindful of physical distance.

  • We will not pass an offering plate during worship. There will be a no-contact option to drop donations before and after the service; we also offer secure, online giving options at https://trinityspringfieldpcusa.org/give

  • Hymnals, Psalters, and Bibles have been removed from the pews. We will have a bulletin, but our primary way of sharing in responsive reading will be via our screens. You are welcome to bring your personal Bible to read scripture during worship if you wish.

  • We welcome singing during worship, with the reminder that masking is required and we ask everyone to sing no louder than conversational volume.

Your Support of Trinity

Your participation in our financial life is what empowers our mission and ministry. You may give securely online, via text, or by sending a check by mail; details for our options are available here: https://trinityspringfieldpcusa.org/give

Thank you for being part of the Trinity family! If there are ways I can be a good support please don't hesitate to reach out.

Peace,
Pastor Chris
